Signals of variation in human mutation rate at multiple levels of sequence context

2018-08-04

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Our understanding of mutation rate helps us build evolutionary models and make sense of genetic variation. Recent work indicates that the frequencies of specific mutation types have been elevated in Europe, and that many more, subtler signatures of global polymorphism variation may yet remain unidentified. Here, we present an analysis of the 1,000 Genomes Project (phase 3), suggesting additional...
